Genshin Impact's 'Path of Training' Update Sparks Buzz Over Fontaine Additions and Alhaitham's Absence

During the official preview livestream for the hit open-world RPG Genshin Impact, the latest update regarding the in-game feature "Path of Training" was unveiled, sending "Path of Training" trending on social media and causing a major stir among the community.

Joy Over Fontaine Character Additions

The update revealed that several popular characters—including Wriothesley, Clorinde, Navia, Chiori, and Xianyun—will be added to the "Path of Training" roster. In response, thrilled players flooded social media with celebratory posts, writing comments such as "I can finally aim for C6 now!" and "This is a god-tier update!"

Where Is Alhaitham? Fans Share Theories

At the same time, players quickly noticed that a few exceptionally strong and popular characters were missing from the lineup. With fan favorites like Alhaitham, Kaedehara Kazuha, and Yelan left out, fans chimed in with humorous reactions such as "Why did the Scribe get left behind?" and "Did he escape from the Path of Training?"

Other players put forward their own theories, speculating that "they might be focusing on characters with lower overall ownership rates" or that "excluding top characters could be foreshadowing major adjustments or buffs for them in future updates."

Hopes and Concerns Regarding Resets and Exchanges

While the lineup expansion has brought widespread excitement, some players voiced concerns, wondering if redemption limits for previously claimed characters will reset or noting that those who own fewer characters might struggle to reap the full benefits. Anticipation remains high for upcoming official announcements and the release of the new version.

The context

Genshin Impact, developed by HoYoverse, is a globally popular free-to-play open-world action RPG that receives regular content updates introducing new regions, characters, and gameplay mechanics. Fontaine is the Hydro region introduced in Version 4.0, featuring characters like Navia, Wriothesley, and Clorinde who have quickly gathered large fan bases. Alhaitham, a powerful Dendro character who serves as the Grand Scribe of the Sumeru Akademiya, is famous in the community for his stoic, work-averse demeanor—making fan jokes about him "escaping" training particularly fitting for his character lore.
